Hello,

Probably a stupid one but anyway...

In PHP. Is it possible to point to a variable with the HTML form name by
which it was posted from?

Example:

//point to the variable with something like or somenthing???
$AddNew.SomeVar

<form name="AddNew" method="post" action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>">
$SomeVar = "Add";
</form>

<form name="DeleteOld" method="post" action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>">
$SomeVar = "Del";
</form>

Or do I just have name the variables uniquely?

Thanks

Sure, you're almost there, just make a hidden variable $whichform and use it like so:

<form name="AddNew" method="post" action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="whichform" value="add" >
</form>

<form name="DeleteOld" method="post" action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="whichform" value="del" >
</form>
